The People’s Alliance will make their presentation at 2.30pm today while FijiFirst Party will present at 3pm today.

Following this, the management board will take a vote on who SODELPA should go with.

A written directive from the party will then be given to the three SODELPA MPs, Viliame Gavoka, Aseri Radrodro and Ifereimi Vasu to follow the party’s decision and vote for the chosen party in parliament.
